As a matter of fact, it's how i have folks pay me for hosting.

If you've got a premium account, you can set up your ability to accept
subscriptions, and then assign any values, frequencies, or durations to
them.

Example Paypal generated code for button to put on the evolt site:

<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_xclick-subscriptions">
<input type="hidden" name="business" value="djc at members.evolt.org">
<input type="hidden" name="item_name" value="Basic Web Hosting">
<input type="hidden" name="image_url"
value="http://www.evolt.org/subscribe_logo.gif">
<input type="hidden" name="no_shipping" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="no_note" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="a3" value="20.00">
<input type="hidden" name="p3" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="t3" value="M">
<input type="hidden" name="src" value="1">
<input type="hidden" name="sra" value="1">
<input type="image"
src="http://images.paypal.com/images/x-click-butcc-subscribe.gif" border="0"
name="submit" alt="Make payments with PayPal - it's fast, free and secure!">
</form>

So you can have the "a3" parameter defined by a drop down instead, and just
pass a 5, or 10, or something. Same with the frequency...

You don't have to set up every combination on the receiving end, just pass
all the proper parameters.

Fairly cake-like.
